Hermod Firmware Wishlist

workflow:

  • boot into last patch / auto-load the last played project when powered on
  • save random parameters settings in project
  • add a “default” template (with step, effects, track, seq settings) that’s loaded when “new project” is selected
  • allow bpm to be changed by turning the encoder while a single button is held down
  • undo & redo
  • in step and effects modes, show the current track, so if record is armed and we record, we do it in the right track
  • add the possibility to re-arrange the order of the effects.
  • possibility to chose wether the lfo and modulation run or stop when the device is stopped or doesn’t receive a clock.
  • possibility to change the behavior of the external modulation source in input a, b, c or d.
  • possibility to save and recall an effect rack
  • ui visual thing but a confirming “saved” on screen
  • shortcut to clear a track
  • track names
  • ability to toggle (momentary or latch) “record” mode via cv input
  • be able to change the current track or toggle record via midi, like via bank or program change.
  • arming record and disarming it with midi, gates, or even a set length
  • record multiple tracks simultaneously
  • possibility to quickly duplicate a set of step pages. “duplicate loop”
  • tap tempo!

sequencer:

  • divide/mult clock per track
  • support triplets in quantized mode (1/8T - 1/16T - 1/32T)
  • overdub / 1 shot / erase options when recording
  • probability per step.
  • slide/legato for mono-tracks, not only glide
  • mute/unmute modulation track separated on a modulation track, between gate and modulation
  • allow recording to either add notes (like it does now) or overwrite notes (removing existing notes)
  • allow step display to auto-scroll with the clock when playing
  • add a shortcut for resetting a step pattern, like hold record + press some other button
  • looper functionality like pyramid
  • ability to change the start and end point of a recorded sequence
  • ability to step advance via cv (trigger) in
  • set up the cv clock in to 24ppqn and be able to divide it by 2, 4, 8 to get ternary beats or 3, 6, 12 to get binary
  • possibility to change the sequence direction
  • 1 or 2 bars pre record time
  • odd numbered steps for patterns
  • step per clock pulse option
  • longer modulations
  • faster modulations
  • automatic modulation waveforms
  • transpose tracks
  • transpose patterns externally/dynamically
  • a legato/mono mode to fix that gate triggering bug when notes are overlapping

effects

  • route the lfo to some effects parameters instead of using external cv / midi for that… (ratchet speed for example)
  • an effect stepmod, like the pyramid,
  • transposition from midi note and record the transposition
  • precision adder effect
  • further randomization option, for certain effects for example (harmo, eucli etc)
  • possibility to control with cv the number of voices of an harmonizer effect
  • add to matrix modulation source on/off option for selected effect
  • enable/disable effects with cv
  • effect master
  • lfo range : possibility to adjust the lfo range more precisely.
  • parameter locks for random/slide/effect
  • add a parameter to change the octave in the scale effect, currently the transposition is limited to 12 semitones.
  • internal routing options in the matrix (make usage or midi message already recorded like velocity etc not only cv in and cc in)
  • possibility to add synch lfo in modulation, like one 4/1 sine with 60% range and 10% offset then 1/2 ramp with 15% range and -12% offset then 2/1 where the modulation stay at the same value then cv offset
  • new arp style from pyramid
  • reset on “cv out” for the clock tracks, or as an option in the lfo effect (on start, on stop)
  • option to reset to original value when unlinking matrix association!
  • Burst generator effect.

other:

  • user scales
  • midi import
  • modulation or lfo can change internal parameter
  • possibility to use cv outs in a gate/trig mode to add more triggering option
  • a new type of “tool” track so that unused cv inputs and track outputs could be used disting-style as : attenuators, envelopes even vcas
  • sending program changes from hermod to external hardware
  • set a 8th note “swing” amount on a per-sequence basis.
  • midi program change values to cycle through projects
